4th Test: Akash Deep Shines On Dream Debut As England Reduce To 112/5 At Lunch
JSCA International Stadium: Fast-bowler Akash Deep shone in his dream-like Test debut as England were reduced to 112/5 in 24.1 overs by India at lunch on day one of the fourth Test at the JSCA International Stadium here on Friday.
Akash Deep, who picked 11 wickets for four games for India ‘A’ against England Lions last month, did the bulk of the damage with his sensational spell of 3-24 on a pitch which has a lot of cracks. Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin took a scalp each to add more joy for India in the morning session.
After being handed his debut cap by head coach Rahul Dravid and replacing the rested Jasprit Bumrah, Akash had Zak Crawley clean bowled for three via a nip-backer through the gate to send the off-stump on a cartwheel ride. The moment of happiness on getting his first Test wicket changed when the no-ball siren came calling, as replays showed he overstepped at the crease.
